Detailed Description

This function object writes graphs of cell values, volume-averaged in planes perpendicular to a given direction or in contours of a given distance field. It adaptively grades the distribution of graph points to match the resolution of the mesh.

Unlike the layerAverage function, this function does not require the mesh to be of any specific structure. This function will cut cells that span multiple layers in order to distribute their contributions between the layers. The cutting process has an expense associated with it and the point grading is calculated iteratively and is somewhat approximate.

Example of function object specification:

cutLayerAverage1
{
    type            cutLayerAverage;
    libs            ("libcutLayerAverageFunctionObject.so");

    writeControl    writeTime;
    writeInterval   1;

    direction       (1 0 0);
    nPoints         100;
    interpolate     no;

    fields          (p U);

    axis            x;
    setFormat       raw;
}
